  ▶ Raspberry Pi ▶ HOW-TO:Install Kodi on Raspberry Pi

The basic hardware you will need is

  • the R-Pi board itself
  • a power supply (Micro-USB, 5V, upto 2500 mA)
  • a (micro)SDHC memory card to install the software. (Because video decoding is more resource-intensive than many other operations, it may be more important to have a fast/high quality memory card for Kodi than for other uses.)


Basic options

Easy / Kodi centric distributions


Advanced / can be used with Kodi

Note that Arch ARM provides different Kodi packages optimized for different RPi models. All builds offer some flavor of HW accelerated decoding just like LibreELEC. The following packages will supply the current stable version of Kodi:

kodi-rpi for RPi 3/4/400

kodi-rpi-legacy for RPi 2

Users wanting to track the master branch may select:

kodi-rpi-git for RPi 3/4/400 only

  • Raspberry Pi OS - Up-to-date versions of Kodi are now on the default Raspbian repositories. See full guide here.


Specific install guides

For installs that don't directly include and/or boot into Kodi automatically.

Raspberry Pi OS

Editor note: We need to expand on this section, but here are the basic commands if you are familiar with the command-line:

(Current Version - Kodi v21.3 Omega) 

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install kodi


PVR Addons
  • PVR Addons can be installed directly from the command line:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install PACKAGENAMEHERE

but replace PACKAGENAMEHERE with the PVR addon required. 

example: sudo apt-get install kodi-pvr-hts

The PVR client add-on should now be installed. If Kodi was already running, restart it to load the add-on.

RetroPie

Here's a youtube guide:
